Picked up a Getaway that was a reimport. Definitely have some work to do on various issues and wire hacks but am starting with the ball plunger which is not working.
Steps taken
1) Verified all voltages on boards. Checked all leds and voltage test points on driver board etc.
2) check for dc power at solenoid = no power
3) check for power at "High Current Driver Board" J1-6 = no power
4) check for power on driver board at J107-2 =good
Now this is where I got puzzled. The manual says J107-2 (violet-orange) but the test menu diag says J107-1 (violet-green) for plunger solenoid. There are two violet-orange wires at front of machine. One for the trough or outhole (either menu or me has these backwards) and one for plunger. The outhole goes back to J107-2 but the Plunger goes back to J109-7 (labeled flipper power on driver board). Now I believe this is a fliptronics 2 game so have no idea why anything is on J109-7. I believe both (violet-orange) wires should be on J107-2 but not sure how that would be accomplished w/o cutting and splicing.
4) check power at J109-7 = no power
5) check fuse @ F102 which is for LWR right flipper based on board = Fuse Blown
So here I am with a blown fuse with a wire somewhere it likely shouldn't be.
So my questions.
1) Is J109-7 safe to use for low power. It seems this was wired this way from the beginning
2) Should I and how would I get both violet-orange wires in J107-2.
3) why is the diag menu saying one thing (regarding wire color) but reality and manual shows another
4) Is it the "trough" solenoid that kicks ball into shooter lane or "outhole" solenoid? If outhole the menu is wrong for this too.
Thanks
